I was just up in Mackinaw in May, and I too remember something about fiber going across the Mackinaw Bridge. I deal with the people in the Mackinaw Crossings shopping center, and we had discussed doing a 802.11b hop from the theatre to Shepler's marina and also to the Grand Hotel on the island. Trouble is, there is no high-speed to send over there, so other than a kiosk on the island, there was no point. The dial-up sucks too, as a simple 1 meg file can take them half an hour to download. What a beautiful place to be, though, and the people are wonderful. Make sure you stop at the Keyhole Bar. A must see......
Oh yeah, that's a kick in the ass, and a much needed one. I'm already firmly entrenched in the Digi camp, though, and just plunked down for a big new HD rig to replace my now-aging TDM rig. Sequencing is a feature we don't need, as we go out and do recordings of live performances, and then bring them back and mix them. Letting clients see that Aqua interface running on a rack mount XServe with all those hot swappable drives is just too much fun:-)

Now, somebody just kick Digidesign in the ass and get Pro Tools on OSX, and I'm OS9 free.....
